Payin' off my bills

And now I’m broke on payday

I think I need a drink

 

My mind is on the mortgage

And the war’s on my mind

I think we’re on the brink

 

I can’t be the only one

Who needs a holiday

From all the headlines telling me

I need to be afraid

 

Take a break

Have a drink and take a holiday

 

Why do all the things in life

Appear upside down 

Because we’re looking at it wrong

 

Everybody needs to

Find a way to smile

And say my friend I think it won’t be long

 

Till we get back on that cruise
And go on holiday

Away from headlines telling us that

We should be afraid

​

Take a break

 

All you need is someone who can

Take you out to dance

A friend or lover or some other

Maybe there’s romance

Leave bad news behind you babe

It’s time to take a chance 

 

Take a break

Take a break

Take a break now baby

Have a drink and take a holiday
